Recently I setup a free bsd 5.3-amd64 box with dual opterons and 1GB of ram. I constructed a RAID 5 array using the HPT rocketraid 1640, conisiting of 4 disks, each with 200GB capacity. Everything worked well, until I installed and ran Samba from the ports collection. Now, apparently whenever I transfer with samba, the computer freezes for a few moments, then an array comes back, stating: Mar 24 13:14:12 tie kernel: hpt374: Device removed: controller 1 channel 3 Mar 24 13:14:12 tie kernel: hpt374: Device removed: controller 1 channel 1 The weird thing is, I transferred over 15GB of data over FTP, but the second I used Samba (which is usually faster, which is why i switched to it), the controller stated the two drives disconnected. How come I can transfer 15GB one way, and nothing the other? Now my RAID array is broken, and I lost all the data on it (which is ok, since I have it backed up). But this is my 2nd time doing this today, thinking maybe the first time was a fluke. info: FreeBSD tie.jbarbieri.net 5.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #1: Wed Mar 23 21:01:23 EST 2005 John@tie.jbarbieri.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TIE amd64 pkg_info: autoconf-2.13.000227_5 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms automake-1.4.6_1 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (legacy version cvsup-without-gui-16.1h General network file distribution system optimized for CVS gettext-0.14.1 GNU gettext package gmake-3.80_2 GNU version of 'make' utility libiconv-1.9.2_1 A character set conversion library libtool-1.3.5_2 Generic shared library support script (version 1.3) libtool-1.5.10_1 Generic shared library support script (version 1.5) linux_base-8-8.0_6 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386) m4-1.4.1 GNU m4 perl-5.8.5 Practical Extraction and Report Language popt-1.7 A getopt(3) like library with a number of enhancements, fro rpm-3.0.6_9 The Red Hat Package Manager samba-2.2.12 A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX as you can see, not much installed.
